And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Blessings



Give me everything mangled and bruised, and I will
make a light of it to make you weep, and we will have
rain and we will have begun again.
                                        - DEENA METZGER


Tonight we reflect o paradox;
Water wears away rock
Spirit overcomes force
The weak will undo the mighty.
May we learn to see thing backwards, inside out, and
upside down.
- ADAPTED FROM THE TAO TE CHING

Dewdrop, let me cleanse
in your brief
sweet waters...
These dark hands of life.
      - BASHO



I watched "The Dhamma Brothers" tonight, where two men move into
a maximum security prison to teach Buddhist meditation to the inmates...
and the most feared and dangerous of our citizens melted into softened
humanity, inner awareness and true contrition.
That inner peace, guidance, awareness of oneness ...
it is there for each and everyONE of us!
We truly are more alike than we are different.

So often, it is from the darkest nights that 
the brightest lights are born.
